Finding a way onto the trail

Jules loves exploring with her family, but wheelchair-inaccessible paths leave her unable to join them. The story turns that barrier into a problem to work on: Jules develops an idea for a solution, with community problem-solving among its stated themes. The book is based on author Diane Mittler’s lived experiences, and an author’s note adds context about her search for a way to explore places she had dreamed about. Together, the story and note connect one child’s adventure with questions of access, inclusion, and who gets to take part in outdoor exploration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about outdoor adventures
  • Young readers exploring disability, access, and inclusion
  • Families and educators seeking a picture-book discussion starter about collaborative problem-solving

Book overview

An empowering story of a determined kid who redefines what it means to go off-road

Jules loves adventures. But when her family explores paths her wheelchair can't reach, she feels stuck--in a rut, in the mud, stopped by a steep slope. She's tired of missing out. But then an idea sparks and ignites, propelling her on a journey to find an innovative solution to make sure that when her family goes on their next adventure, she's ready to ride.

Based on the author's lived experiences, Ready to Ride inspires readers to challenge the status quo and problem-solve with their communities. An author's note expands on her own adventure finding a way to explore the places she dreamed about.
